Corona-Chan. At last we meet...

Welp. I didn't see this coming; working for a Chinese-owned company* wearing a Chinese-made mask* to prevent a Chinese-bred disease--which is a matter of public record (thank you, Project Veritas and Sen. Paul)--like I needed to be told that a Communist country systematically can, would, and did lie about a natural disaster they caused (Chernobyl, anyone?). I  predicted that our top-down fascistic federal government would sperg out, learning precisely all the wrong lessons; psychotically seizing all the centralized authority that made the Wuhan flu fucking possible; and, by God, the Deep State did not disappoint.

But that is a tangent. And not the point of this journal.

Anywho, I gots the 'ronas, so, now, per my work's quarantine protocol, I have to hunker down in my house for two weeks before I can go back to work. While I appreciate the paid time off, I'm horrified at having such a obscenely huge chunk of free time; the bulk of which practically will be spent shut up in my beige cube of a bedroom. Thankfully, I have several medical experts in my family, so I have access to, you know, medicine (so that's nice), aaand actually the infection, itself, has been mild; its more lethal properties curb stomped by a ffffrothing, mongrel horde of zinc, vitamin D, ivermectin, melatonin, flonase, and colloidal silver*** (which I use to gargle after brushing my teeth); a ritual that becomes increasingly vital as I grow more lethargic by the hour.

 And that's the worst part of being sick!!!

 You want to capitalize on the time you have, but you know that physically wearing yourself out will kneecap your immune system; so you can't do anything, really, just sit and grow softer by the minute. At this rate I'm just trying to relax and enjoy this massive lump of free time on the company dollar. To do that, I need to (as bizarre as this always sounds)--I need to order a schedule for my fun,  by first making a list of shit I want to do:

1)A movie binge, starting with:

*A politically "essential" store that, during my State's lock down (which thankfully abated months and months ago) became a super spreader, by ensuring my neighborhood would concentrate in one place. Because, apparently, that was "essential".

**A mask that expressly denies any capacity to prevent disease RIGHT ON THE GODDAMN BOX!

***Colloidal silver is safe to ingest, it's ant-bacterial.
